CFL Pick 'Em, Week Eleven

CFL Pick 'Em, Week Eleven

The West dominated in Week Ten action! BC grinds out a win against Ottawa, Winnipeg comes one step closer to proving they're the real deal with a win over Montreal, Edmonton fends off a pesky Saskatchewan squad while Calgary holds back the Tiger-Cats in Cowtown.

Scores from Week 10 will be posted when Dr. J is able to. For now, here's a look at Week 11.

WEEK 11

B.C. @ Toronto (Wednesday, August 31)The Lions are one of the big surprises this season, looking like the Lions of old under old head coach Wally Buono. But the Argos have Ricky Ray back and a chance to take first place in the East. But winning at home hasn't been easy for the Boatmen.

Ottawa @ Montreal (Thursday, September 1)Ottawa is struggling to find its 2015 rhythm, regardless of what QB is calling the plays. But Montreal, despite flashes of brilliance, are still not a consistently good team at home or on the road.

Winnipeg @ Saskatchewan (Sunday, September 4)Banjo Bowl! Winnipeg will be looking to enjoy their newfound success as they stand poised to rub it in their prairie rival's face with a win on the road. But the slumping Riders will have something to say about that at Mosaic Stadium.

Edmonton @ Calgary (Sunday, September 4)The Battle of Alberta game is always fun, but especially this year as the defending Grey Cup champs look to show the Stamps that they still rule the West. But winning in Calgary ain't easy for anyone.

Toronto @ Hamilton (Monday, September 5)Two Argo games is Week 11? You're reading it right. The Boatmen look to catch up with the rest of the league in terms of games played with two this week. The Labour Day Classic sees the Argos head into Hamilton's new stadium where they can't seem to win for love nor money. Maybe this is their year?!

Dr. J will post the standings later this week. In the meantime, here are the previews for this week.

WEEK 16

Toronto @ Ottawa (Tuesday, October 6)
Didn't we just do this? Yes, but the MLB success of the Blue Jays meant Toronto's "home" game will now be played in Ottawa for the second week in a row. A three-way tie for first place in the East is on the line if the Argos can make it two in a row in Ottawa.

Saskatchewan @ Hamilton (Friday, October 9)
Both teams coming off tough losses last week, but Hamilton has much more to play for if they hope to hold on to first place in the East without star QB Zach Collaros.

Edmonton @ Calgary (Saturday, October 10)
Battle of the Best in the West! The only two teams to lock up 2015 playoff spots, Calgary and Edmonton are in a bitter race to see who gets home field advantage and a bye week in November post-season play. And Edmonton has QB Mike Reilly back. Can the Esks steal one in Cow-town?

Winnipeg @ BC (Saturday, October 10)
If the Bombers have any hope of making the post-season is has to start Saturday with a win against a resurgent Lions team, led by third-string wunderkind Jonathan Jennings. Can Winnipeg coach Mike O'Shea rally his club after a tough loss?

Toronto @ Montreal (Monday, October 11)
Toronto gets a bye, plays a game, gets a bye, then plays two games in six days? This is what a nine league team will do to you. Toronto heads into La Belle Province to play a directionless and inconsistent Allouette team. Can the Argos keep Montreal from a coveted crossover spot?

Dr. J will post the latest scores based on last week's results, but here is a preview of Week Nine to get you started.

WEEK 9

Montreal @ BC (Thursday, August 20)
Both teams had had rough patches and flashes of brilliance to start the season. Both suffered dispiriting losses last week and are looking to right the ship. Both QBs want to show they're better than their records indicate. Can Montreal begin a two-week road trip with a win?

Hamilton @ Edmonton (Friday, August 21)
Hamilton has shown they're the team to beat in the CFL this season. Special teams, offence and defence have all found ways to score early and often. Edmonton's defence has kept them in close games, but offensively they struggle without Mike Reilly. Can they snap the Ti-Cats four game winning streak at home?

Calgary @ Saskatchewan (Saturday, August 22)
Regina is always a tough place for visiting teams to play, even when the boys in Green and White are 0-7. Third-string QB Brett Smith looked good for the Riders vs Toronto in Week 7 and is a rare bright spot in a dark season so-far. Calgary is fresh off dismantling Ottawa at home and are looking to continue their winning ways.

Ottawa @ Toronto (Sunday, August 23)
Ottawa is struggling to find consistency. While they've already doubled their wins from last season, the Capital team wants to show they're competitors. Toronto could be the place to do it, though the Boatmen have shown slow starts don't mean they won't finish strong.
